Nope, I know one subscriber that uses neither -- he has a Sparc 5 running Solaris 2.4. But he perfers setting up Solaris so it looks as BSD as possible (yes he needs to run Solaris specificly). So maybe we can still count him in the BSD camp??? Well, even w/o him, *BSD is still ahead. Yea! : Lies, damn lies, and statistics. No lie on that *one* subscriber. :-) -- David (obrien@cs.ucdavis.edu)
